Nvidia Turing: Mobile RTX graphics chips 2050/2060/2070 announced during CES
Over at the pending CES in Las Vegas Nvidia might be introducing first mobile offspring based on the Turing graphics architecture. If correct then the first Turing notebooks could already be available in about two months.
Nvidia would plan to launch the first laptop with a Turing graphics unit but with availability in February. Initially, there would be two revisions, GeForce RTX 2070 as a temporary mobile flagship and then a lower clocked Max-Q variant. As Max-Q, Nvidia refers to graphics cards with lower power consumption and lower power, but in notebooks allow a more compact cooling and flatter design.
GeForce 2060, 2050 Ti and 2050 are also mentioned, the prefix (GTX/RTX) remains unclear. For while the 2070 versions of the RTX-exclusive features raytracing and DLSS support, the smaller chips could not have dedicated RT and tensor cores.
A possible RTX 2060 also surfaced in a benchmark. The graphics cards of the new series appear in benchmarks and databases, all models are listed , in addition also supplemented by smaller variants. These are in the RTX 2060 in the normal and Max-Q variant. With over 19,000 points in 3DMark, the RTX 2060 is expected to rank between GTX 1070 and 1070 Max-Q.

RTX 2050? Why would they put tensor and RT cores on a budget card like that? I guess it will most likely be a GTX card.

I bet they will cost less than 15'' Apple MacBook Pro with Radeon Pro Vega 16 upgrade (3050 US$) or Radeon Pro Vega 20 (3150 US$) and will perform better for gaming.

I thought the 2070 was supposed to be the lowest-end raytracing-capable GPU? If so, I think having the RTX 2060 is a bit confusing/misleading. As far as I'm concerned, non-RT GPUs should stick with GT(X).

but there's more...
as i teased last week Re: Alienware's upcoming "M" series, ability to change/upgrade full, fat Turing, or go Max-Q with enhanced cooling (also an option).
but yeah vendors are excited to have current cpu/gpu combos for sale again. 10xx lasted so long (3 Intel generations for mobile) vendors had seen sales dip at the high margin (enthusiast mobile).

then you're in good luck, you will be happy.
Let's see if the 30xx series from AMD can compete with the 2050/60, that's the real question for me, don't want to drop freesync or pay a few hundred extra just to gey gsync.
then you're in good luck, you will be happy.

Don´t tell me you don´t like Nvidia´s misleading marketing regarding mobile chips... Of course there´s a (small) chance that the 2060 is just a cut down 2070 with reduced RT capacity.

Just a repeat of what I've been saying all this time since the launch of the rtx series. The only card that makes any sense this new generation is the 2080ti.

Huh? The 2080Ti is the one that makes the least sense so far (well, excluding Titans, but they have never made sense). The 2080Ti is disproportionately way too expensive and it doesn't handle raytracing a whole lot better than the 2080.

I'm not talking about price. Outperforms the highest pascal card and has rediculusly good vr performance. Can't say the same about anything lower.

Well if you ignore price then the RTX Titan makes more sense.

Check my edit above. Not going to turn this into a price discussion.

I could see Nvidia pulling another GeForce 4 MX stunt with regard to RTX. It wouldn't be the first time that they've grossly misled consumers on GPU technology.
I agree that the 2080 Ti makes the least sense. The 1080 and 1080 Ti are EOL and the RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 make for decent replacements, respectively. Can't say that about the 2080 Ti.

Doubt that. Things are a bit different now. The slightest deviation from a 'proper card' and they will be eaten alive by the tech press. They know everyone is hungry for a good scandal involving Nvidia, so should tread carefully now. Last thing they need is another PR disaster.
